The Buffalo Bills play the Denver Broncos tomorrow on Monday Night Football. However, there’s plenty of NFL action today. This is the Make-Or-Break time of the year for many NFL teams. And, sadly, the number of injured players increases with 10 weeks of wear and tear on those athletic bodies. How will your favorite NFL team perform today?

THE PIGEON TUNNEL [Apple TV+]
I started reading John le Carre (aka, David Cornwell) in the 1970s and continued reading his spy novels over the decades. If you’re a le Carre fan like me, you’ll enjoy Errol Morris’s fascinating film, The Pigeon Tunnel, where le Carre talks about his novels and his bizarre childhood that did so much to affect his life and his writing.
Le Carre’s father was a con man. Ronnie Cornwell, le Carre’s conniving father, was involved in dubious (and criminal) enterprises all of his Life. Le Carre’s mother abandons her wayward husband and two sons by walking away from the mess. Le Carre was 5 years old.
Le Carre admits that he never fit into the social class his father projected him into. He told his father he was studying Law at Oxford University when in fact he studied Modern Languages. Le Carre was recruited to be a British spy. He didn’t like the first intelligence agency and moved to a second intelligence agency. He didn’t like that either…and turned to writing.
Le Carre’s experience in the world of spies led him to write about double agents and moles. Morris includes film from some of the movies based on le Carre’s spy novels. Le Carre says that all of his books started out with the working title of The Pigeon Tunnel. That title comes from the time le Carre and his father were at a hotel in Monte Carlo where pigeons were forced to fly down a tunnel and exit above the hotel where they became targets of guests with shotguns who shot at them. The pigeons that survived would fly back to the hotel’s roof cages where they would tempt death all over again the next day.
Le Carre died in 2020 so this film captures his final thoughts on his work and his Life. I found this to be an engrossing and brilliant expose of one of our great spy writers. GRADE: A
FRIDAY’S FORGOTTEN BOOKS #767: THE NEW BEDSIDE, BATHTUB & ARMCHAIR COMPANION TO AGATHA CHRISTIE Edited by Dick Riley and Pam McAllister
I started reading Agatha Christie mysteries in the mid-1960s. I was in High School with boring Study Halls so I started bringing books to read during those times. Agatha Christie paperbacks showed up on spinner racks (remember them?) everywhere so there were plenty of her titles to choose from. I gravitated toward the DELL paperbacks that had William Teason’s artwork on the covers. Teason would take clues from the books and use them in his clever covers. I binged on Christie mysteries for a year or so. Then I discovered Carter Brown and plenty of paperback Private Eye novels and moved on.
But my fondness for Christie mysteries was reignited in 1979 when the first edition of The Bedside, Bathtub & Armchair Companion to Agatha Christie was published. In 1986, The NEW Bedside, Bathtub & Armchair Companion to Agatha Christie (aka, The Second Edition) showed up. That’s the volume I’m reviewing here.
The NEW Bedside, Bathtub & Armchair Companion to Agatha Christie is a browser’s delight. There are synopsis’s of all the novels, plays, and short stories (without spoilers!). There’s a Christie mystery map, cross-word puzzles, poems, and fan appreciation essays.
The features new to this edition are:
Edward D. Hoch on Christie’s short fiction
Emma Lathen on Jessica Fletcher (a liberated Miss Marple?)
Filmography and video listings…that are obsolete.
If you’re an Agatha Christie fan, you probably own The NEW Bedside, Bathtub & Armchair Companion to Agatha Christie. But, if you don’t, inexpensive copies are available on-line. There are hours of fun in these pages! Are you a Christie fan? Do you have a favorite Christie mystery? GRADE: A

SOUNDS OF THE SEVENTIES: 1978
Sounds of the Seventies: 1978 is Volume 10 of a 37 CD Time-Life series. And this 20 song compilation is a very mixed bag. Randy Newman’s “Short People,” a song hated by our short friends, and Eric Capton’s annoying “Lay Down Sally” show up on this disc. On the plus side, Steely Dan’s “Peg,” a favorite of our friend Peggy O’Neal, and Joe Walsh’s snarky “Life’s Been Good” raise the ante. Disco was still hot in 1978 so Alicia Bridges’ “I Love the Nightlife” represents as does Chic’s classic, “Le Freak.”
I always loved Linda Roostadt’s version of “Ooh Baby Baby” and Queen’s anthem, “We Are the Champions.” Rod Stewart’s “You’re In My Heart” never gets old. How many of these songs do you remember? Any favorites? GRADE: B+

WEDNESDAY’S SHORT STORIES #149: THE BOOK OF FRITZ LEIBER
I’ve been a fan of Fritz Leiber’s works since 1963 when I bought a copy of Fantastic and read Leiber’s marvelous “Bazaar of the Bizarre.” I was hooked!
My next step was to search for Fritz Leiber paperbacks. I found a few: The Big Time, The Silver Eggheads, and Night’s Black Agents. Leiber leapt to the top of my Favorite Writers list. Over the years, I bought and read every Fritz Leiber book that came my way. One of my favorite Fritz Leiber books is The Book of Fritz Leiber. You won’t see an Editor credit on this book because Fritz Leiber chose all the stories and essays included in this great DAW volume from 1974.
In his “Forward” Leiber writes about influences on his work. The first is Shakespeare (his father was a Shakespearean actor) and his writing on “King Lear” in this volume is masterful. The second influence is H. P. Lovecraft who can be the spirit behind “To Arkham and the Stars.” “Beauty and the Beasts,” a Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser story, captures the wonder of sword and sorcery.
The stories and essays in The Book of Fritz Leiber reveal the talent and genius of this exceptional writer who is too little known. GRADE: A

GOOD-BYE JAPANESE RED MAPLE TREE
Our Japanese Red Maple tree graced our house for 36 years. But after the Blizzard of 2022 and a Spring with a number frosts, our Japanese Red Maple tree stopped looking like the top photo and degenerated into the middle photo. Diane finally contacted an arborist who came out and looked at our sick Japanese Red Maple tree. He started pulling bark off the tree and looking at the wood underneath. “This is all dead, ” he said. And, then the arborist shocked us by saying, “I think this tree has been struck by lightning.”
There were two sections of the tree that were barely alive. The arborist gave Diane two options: we could remove the dead parts of the tree and treat the remainder next Spring with hormones and see if it would live. But Diane decided to take option 2 which was remove everything. And that happened Monday.
Al’s Tree Service showed up and a team of four workers brought down the tree and removed it. They also had a machine that ground up the stump. They were done in 20 minutes! The lead worker said, “Wow, now everyone can see the front of your house!” Diane will be talking to our landscaper next Spring to figure out what should take the Japanese Red Maple tree’s place.

BUFFALO BILLS VS. CINCINNATI BENGALS [NBC Sunday Night Football]
The Buffalo Bills have been favored to win their last 27 games in a row. But, not tonight! The Cincinnati Bengals are favored over the Bills by 3 points. For the last few games, the Bills have won a game then lost a game. If that pattern holds true, the Bills will lose tonight because they beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week. The weather for this game in Cincinnati is supposed to be perfect: temps in the 50s with little to no wind. How will your favorite NFL team perform today?
MOULIN ROUGE!: THE MUSICAL
MOULIN ROUGE!: THE MUSICAL features plenty of pop hits originally sung by Elton John, Lady Gaga, The Police, LaBelle, DeBarge, Madonna, Beyonce, Pink, Walk the Moon, Whitney Houston, Katy Perry, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Sony & Cher, Tina Turner, and a dozen other groups and performers. That’s 70 songs (or parts of songs) and 151 artists get paid royalties on those songs. The movie version Moulin Rouge! (2001) had a soundtrack that went Platinum. For this musical version, the producers went with a new set of songs and negotiated with the leverage of the success of the movie soundtrack. The Rolling Stones refused to allow any of their songs in the move version, but when they saw how much they lost in royalties, they agreed to allow their songs to be included in this new musical version.
I’m a fan of Juke Box Musicals like this one. The plot is sketchy: the Moulin Rouge club is in dire financial problems and nearing bankruptcy. However, a very wealthy noble man decides to buy the Moulin Rouge in order to “own” its star, the beautiful and talented Satine. But Satine is in love with a young American song writer named Christian. This triangle generates most of the action in the musical.
I enjoyed all the dancing, costumes, and special effects in this production. Usually, musicals only come to Buffalo for a week of performances, but MOULIN ROUGE!: THE MUSICAL has a two-week run. Our performance at Shea’s Performing Arts Center was sold out. If you enjoy the songs listed below, you’ll enjoy this touring company version. GRADE: B+
